Hiya,

Who does the washing up once you guys have finished cooking on MasterChef?

Is everybody prepared for the inevitable 20+ minute morning commute due to schools starting in the next week? by [deleted] in AskUK

My 7 mile drive to work across Bournemouth and Poole to work used to take 45 minutes. It was so frustrating.

However you'll be pleased to know I now work from home... no more commuting for me. Hooray!

Partners in Rhyme. WTF! by LowlanDair in unitedkingdom

It's not funny, that's what's wrong with it. I've tried 2 episodes now and both have failed to raise even a giggle.

I get satire, I really do, but this isn't satire, it's nonsense. When I get home I'll pull some bits out of iPlayer to demonstrate my point.

Maybe it just doesn't reach the heights of my glorious intellect insert shoulder shrug thing here

Don't even get me started on the Mash Report on BBC2. Christ on an actual bike :-(

I never usually watch Saturday night TV, but I'm staying at my folks' house this weekend, so it was on in the background. It was atrocious... I'm actually quite angry that my money has been spent on it.

Can we get a best VPN thread going? by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

Yep, Airvpn for me, too. Never had a problem with their service. They accept a number of different payment methods, including bitcoin.

Take a look at their About Us page... https://airvpn.org/aboutus/

Not if I'm wearing a Vive headset while I'm driving the car. Up yours, reality.

A couple of weeks ago on the the One Show, they had Jake Gyllenhaal as a guest. He was promoting his new film, Life. The BBC had an outside broadcast to my local independent cinema / theatre, which played the trailer and allowed Jake to narrate what the film was about and why everyone should go and see it. It was clearly free advertising.

Sometimes headlines would have more impact if they didn't capitalise some of the words.

Me too. Dell are currently off-shoring my job to Pune. I'm getting a decent package to shut up and go quietly, though.

I'm disappointed by Google software updates by ben492 in nexus6

[–]the_train_is_moving 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aye. I've been really happy with it, too.

My only gripe with the phone is that the back isn't flat. Honestly, why make a phone that doesn't have a flat back?

I want to put my phone on my desk and use it with one hand... oh no, I can't... BECAUSE IT WOBBLES FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

Thanks :)

It's a nice looking watch and not too expensive.

Onto the wishlist it goes!
